Chapter 903: Volume 28: The Long-Spear Rake Courtyard, - 20: The Big Sucker
The exquisite rattan chairs, like pieces of ingeniously crafted artwork, added a touch of romantic flair to the lawn. Dappled sunlight scattered across the grass, where Komer lounged on a plush cushion, fully enjoying his rare leisure. But his mood was soon disrupted.
When Puber, like a maggot clinging to bone, and the ever-obsequious Karmani appeared in Komer’s sight, Komer knew his good mood was doomed for today.
The guests had arrived, but Komer had no desire to entertain them. Yet Puber behaved even more casually than the host, taking a seat without invitation and boldly encouraging Karmani to make himself comfortable. The coffee, which had been roasting over charcoal on the rattan coffee table, poured into the cup with Puber’s lift, and its rich aroma spilled out instantly.
"Puber, aren’t you being a bit too presumptuous?" Komer couldn’t hold back any longer. The plan he had wanted to enjoy was undeniably ruined by this man, who looked set to drink his fill—it was a waste, wasn’t it?
"Boss, don’t say that. What am I exhausting my heart and soul for, if not for the prosperity of your territory? Can you really not spare this pot of coffee?" Puber completely ignored him.
"Puber, it’s not about the pot of coffee—it’s about respect. I toiled to make this coffee myself, and here you come, enjoying it without a word. When has there ever been such a thing in this world?" Komer said, irritated.
"Come on, Boss, you’re now the Great Lord with multiple territories. You still bother with such trivialities with us, don’t you feel ashamed?" Puber said carelessly: "Let’s not argue over these insignificant matters, shall we talk about serious things instead?"
"Serious matters? I finally have a break, and you insist on discussing things today?" Komer glanced at Karmani, who seemed somewhat uneasy.
